Controlling Dust Adds Operating Efficiency and Cost Savings

Dust containment is a constant challenge for bulk material processors. Not controlling dust related to your material handling operations can increase the risk of fire and explosion, resulting in increased costs and unexpected down-time. Effective dust containment also keeps your plant clean and your workers safe. In addition to reducing plant risk, controlling dust also increases material handling efficiency, losing product to dust in the air that is eventually swept up or washed down costs you money. Your bulk material purchases are optimized when you capture and use all material every bag, container, silo, or tank.

We understand the importance of effective dust collection when handling your raw product during unloading, mixing, and packaging or bagging, therefore we offer dust collection as an optional component on all of our applicable equipment.

Use us as your resource for effective dust containment as an integral part of your material handling process.

Request a material test to allow us to demonstrate our effective handling of your specific material or contact one of our applications experts for further details and assistance.

April 14, 2016 - Investigators said dust from a broken hose is likely the cause of a dust explosion at an International Paper cardboard box manufacturing plant in Richmond, MS early Thursday morning, The Jackson [MS] Clarion-Ledger reported.

No injuries were reported as a result of the explosion, which occurred at about 12:30 a.m., the Clarion-Ledger reported. Small “spot fires” were extinguished by firefighters after the blast.

The 6 Key Considerations for Selecting the Right Conveyor for Your Process

Selecting a conveyor for a batch or continuous processing application is not always as straightforward as you might think. In fact, it almost never is. Moving material consistently – at a rate that is in line with production requirements and in a manner...Read more.

In bulk material handling processes, there can be a lot of drama associated with the subject of material degradation. That’s because maintaining product integrity from start to finish is the key to material quality and a healthy bottom line...Read more.
